It goes through loneliness, rejection and rummaging.

The most powerful thing what I learned was about the rummaging. If you focus your thoughts on something else even for two minutes after your brain gets hold of something stupid that didn't work your way 7 years ago, you start feeling better fast! (Rummaging is also bad for yer health).

Start getting powerful there, folks! Mental health matters as much as physical!

Need something done but it's as boring as swallowing stones? Your video games get much more love from you?

Then why don't you bring some of those game's aspects to your routines!

Being it a Tetris block drawing or Habitica (you get coins and exp and mana from real-life tasks) or some survival spreadsheet, there are no wrong answers! I have eaten healthier, done more exercise and trained my brain more through gamification!

Don't make the grind awful! Add some interesting features in it, and going through your chores should get a lil' more excited!

A realization I had some time ago: Snoozing your alarm trains your brain to continue sleeping. You are conditioning yourself:

1. Trigger: Alarm goes of
2. Reaction: Push Snooze
3. Reward: Sweet, sweet slumber

I know there was a time when I had no trouble getting out of bed. There had to be! But it's long gone. It doesn't matter how much sleep I get. I almost always snooze at least a couple of times. Even though I know these endless 10 minute naps aren't helping me. Often I feel more groggy than I did before! But what's my reaction? Snooze one more time. Maybe it'll get better.

I've wasted so much time doing this! And the worst thing is, when I finally get up I feel like shit, because I know that I just wasted another hour. I'm disappointed in myself, because I failed to get up immediately, again. How can I have a happy, productive day, when it starts with a failure in something as basic as getting up?

I've failed so many times to stop snoozing endlessly. I've used multiple alarms. Put them to hard to reach places. Used an alarm that lights up the room. Nothing worked. I've often joked that my sleepy self is a different person from awake self, because I just didn't seem to have any control over my snooze impulses. Now I know why. I've conditioned myself to snooze for years! That's why I feel like I have no control.

But I do have control! I can get up immediately! I know I do, because I've done it. I always get up just in time if there is something important I can't be late for. I'll miss my breakfast, have hardly enough time to get dressed, but I will get there in time. I even got up at 4am without an alarm once! Just to be able to play some Unreal Tournament before school (yeah, it's been a couple of years...).

I know I have the capacity to get up immediately. From today on I will use it. No more snooze! I will train myself to get up immediately. Each time I don't snooze will make me stronger. Each day I get up right away will make it easier to do so next time. There might be times I cave in, there might me times I fail. But I won't give up and over time I will succeed. I can do this! And so can you.

Edit: Here are a couple of tips to make the transition easier:

1. Ask someone to help you get up (parent, flatmate, significant other)
2. Write down why you don't want to hit snooze and put that on your alarm
3. Prepare a reward for getting up immediately
4. Physically disable snooze on your alarm
5. When you wake up, stay in bed and do Wim Hof's power breathing (helps me immensely to wake up!)
6. Keep a glass of water by your alarm and slam it when you wake up! It helps get you going.
